LUX - July 2017 59 A Multitude of Mediterranean Experiences Puente Romano Beach Resort & Spa was named the ‘Best Resort 2016’ by Condé Nast Traveller Spain readers, located just 45 minutes from Malaga airport by car. The location could not be more perfect, as it is situated on the beachfront of the Golden Mile Costa del Sol, between Marbella and Puerto Banús. The firm’s General Manager Jorge Manzur lavishes us with the details of this luxurious resort, what it offers, who they serve and the sheer size of the place! “Our 259 recently refurbished spacious suites in our Andalusian village-style resort, are spread across 27 three-story buildings each surrounded by lush subtropical gardens and waterfalls, with stunning landscaping reaching all the way down to the Mediterranean Sea. We also now offer three luxury villas offering three, four or five-bedroom luxury accommodation for larger groups. “Our 55,000m2 resort offers 10 restaurants with cuisines from all over the world, including the two Michelin Star ‘Dani García’, the beach front Sea Grill, as well as an organic restaurant and a gluten free restaurant. This year, we welcomed the opening of the very first Nobu Restaurant Marbella, with the Nobu Hotel set to open in 2018. “The resort is also home to a Six Senses Spa, which includes a hydrotherapy pool, cold plunge pool, herbal steam room, sauna and a Hamman. There’s a wide selection of Six Senses signature treatments and wellness therapies, plus locally inspired options that combine herbs and sea salt, olive oil and rich minerals to offer truly Mediterranean experiences. “World-class fitness and wellness facilities are located on and around the property, offering activities including tennis, golf, horse-riding, paddle boarding, swimming and yoga and Pilates. We welcome and cater to the needs of luxury travellers, who want a true and authentic Andalucía experience as well as a stunning location. Our clientele consists of couples, families, groups of friends and business travellers.” Jorge then highlights that the firm does not have one single theme of focus, because they have so much to offer. She develops this point and explains the wonderful guest experience they provide. “At Puente Romano Beach Resort and Spa, there is not one theme or focus, as we have so much to offer! We embrace our history, incredible location and culture. Our atmosphere perfectly combines the historical construction of its roman bridge - built in the 1st century - with the spectacular designs of the renowned British interior designer Andrew Martin, providing a very elegant and trendy Mediterranean style. “As well as our incredible design, our prime location on the ‘Golden Mile’ means that we have a large variety of water activities to entertain the whole family. Our amazing facilities including the Six Senses Spa, world-class fitness facilities, multiple pools, golf course and tennis court. These facilities ensure that wellness is available in many forms and can be adapted around, to cater for all our guests’ individual needs. “Gastronomy is also at the core of our resort, quite literally, in the form of the buzzing Plaza Village, where guests can enjoy delicious and unique dishes from all around the world including two-Michelin star dining by Dani Garcia and now, Nobu Restaurant Marbella. Every guest that stays here, experiences a true and authentic service which is key for the luxury traveller. Whether it’s food, sport, relaxation or fitness, we can create bespoke experiences for all our guests.” Jorge then explains how the firm always aims to provide the best possible service to their guests and how they ensure that the first impression received is Puente Romano Beach Resort & Spa is perfectly situated on the beachfront of the Golden Mile Costa del Sol, between Marbella and Puerto Banús.
